To a FAT32 partition? Depends on the tarball, from the sounds of it, you'd be better off unpacking the tarball to a genuine GNU/Linux filesystem and then copying the resulting files. That's why it's a tar.bz2 NOT a .zip!
As root I get a raft of errors saying it cannot change ownership and then it stops saying "halted delayed due to too many errors". It's not something stupid, like the fact that I am unpacking it to the location I downloaded it to is it? (which is a FAT32 partition
Yes, it probably is.
so that I can dl in Windows or Linux and still see all the files... also if Linux goes belly up I won't have lost all my downloaded files).

Linux doesn't go belly up - that's a Windows thingie. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.dcglug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
